In South Korea there is a variety of alcohol . I mean you can fiend beers from almost everywhere but I know you already know that and I am pretty sure that you want to know about the traditional one.
Before go on details about the alcohol, I have to mention that the South Koreans have a very big alcoholic culture; You can drink everywhere, parks and in the university . Sometimes Universities organize some festival during the year and the main purpose of the festival is to get drunk besides that the Companies also have one day a week, in that day the workers get together and eat Samgyupsal with alcohol(Soju).
Perhaps you are think "just the Men", but I have to tell you that the women also drink a lot in South Korea. Here it doesn't matter the day and the hour of the day. So now you can judge why I told you before about the big Alcoholic Culture.i
